| Shawna Caspi Forrest Fire Album Tour @ Record City Off the heels of a successful fall tour that brought Toronto-based singer-songwriter Shawna Caspi across Canada and the United States in support of her new album Forest Fire, Shawna will be travelling across Canada once again visiting British Columbia, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Quebec. Shawna performs solo, but there's a whole band under her fingertips. A mighty singer, a story sculptor, and a truth teller, she has toured across Canada and the United States and believes in poetry and the power of one person and one instrument. Shawna’s vocals are brewed by years of classical training followed by years on the road finding her own voice singing folk songs. She combines power, intensity, character, and closeness. Her performances capture audiences with grace and intimacy whether the setting is a living room, a festival stage, or the bar car of a passenger train. |
